Ridvan Dilmen made a striking statement regarding the championship race while evaluating the match in which Fenerbahçe defeated Alanyaspor 3-2.

RIDVAN DILMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP STATEMENT

Speaking on Sports Digitale, Ridvan Dilmen said that Fenerbahçe won against Alanyaspor "despite a terrible performance." Dilmen argued that if the championship comes at the end of the season, the quality of the match will not be remembered, stating, "If Fenerbahçe becomes champion at the end of the 34th week, will anyone remember the game in Alanya?"

"IT'S HARD TO BE CHAMPION WITHOUT TALISCA AND ASENSIO"

Dilmen pointed out that the names keeping Fenerbahçe in the race are Anderson Talisca and Marco Asensio. Stating, "If you take Talisca out today, you would have lost the three points," Dilmen asserted, "If something happens to Asensio and Talisca, Fenerbahçe cannot be champion; I say this very clearly."

"YOU CAN BE CHAMPION WITH A GREAT NUMBER 10"

Expressing that Talisca's cost is justified by his impact on the field, Dilmen said, "Talisca is a player who can score in every match, that's why millions of euros were paid." Touching on the reality of the league, Dilmen evaluated, "You can be champion with players like Hagi and Alex. You can also be champion with Talisca, and you can be champion with Asensio."

"FAILED IN OPPONENT ANALYSIS, LOST IN GAME"

Dilmen also criticized the technical staff. Saying, "We see that the player is tired today, it's normal for İsmail too," Dilmen stated, "The coach failed in opponent analysis. He lost in terms of gameplay."

"THERE SHOULD BE NO PANIC IN TRANSFER"

Touching on the transfer agenda, Dilmen said, "I would be happy if Kante comes, but I wouldn't be upset if he doesn't," highlighting the impact of the name. Emphasizing that Fenerbahçe should not panic in transfers, Dilmen mentioned that the team's need could be "a more goal-scoring winger."
